PROMOTAP – the future for bioplastics within the furniture industry

On March 30th, Gaia BioMaterials CTO Åke Rosén R&D and CEO Peter Stenström were invited to the furniture fair PROMATAP in Łódź, Poland, to present the future for bioplastics within the furniture industry from an environmental and sustainability perspective. The seminar was hosted by Ackurat, a leading European manufacturer of plastic components to the furniture industry.

Gaia’s view of the circular economy, where reduced waste of natural resources and recycling of products into renewable energy are cornerstones, as well as its work with developing a new biomaterial together with Båstad Municipality and NSR as part of EU’s LIFE programme, was very well received by the audience.

EU Monitor at Båstad Municipality

On December 7, 2016, Båstad Municipality had the opportunity to host representative from the European Commission, LIFE. Ms. Katja Lähdesmäki, Monitoring Expert from Neemo EEIG – ELLE , and Ulf Kullenius, from Gaia Biomaterials AB and Kim Olsson and Johan Kristiansson, from NSR AB, and Sari Bengtsson and Aline de Camargo Olsson from Båstad Municipality situated at Skåne County.

The project is a collaboration between the Municipality of Båstad, GAIA Biomaterials and the municipally owned waste company NSR AB.

With the support of the EU LIFE financial instrument, Båstad Municipality is the lead part and GAIA Biomaterials holds the expertise in biomaterials. NSR is testing the material in biogas production by using the biomaterial in food waste collections from households and restaurants. Unlike traditional plastics do from fossil oil, the content does not need to be separated from the package. The purpose of the commitment of Båstad Municipality is to contribute to a good environment, less waste and of course to demonstrate clear leadership in the area of the circular economic perspective. Båstad Municipality goal is to become one of Sweden’s top 10 environmental municipalities.
